PTC1 - runners and riders

[Neil Taperell]

That's not true. Eden lives with his mother in a flat in Alloa. He is NOT one of the lucky ones. He has no job, can't drive and travels to all the Scottish events by public transport, unless he is lucky enough to get a lift.

He is a prime example of a young player trying against all the odds in this game.

Fair play to the lad . Sounds like a very decent chap .
Don't know anything about him . How old is he ? Did he qualify or is he an amateur having to pay to enter every PTC ?

Live scoring seems to have broken down for all tables except Jogia v Gilbert.

Would not be that much of a shock really.....Gould is a class player on his day, and is more than a handful for any top player these days..

Yes Spike i agree but thought this could be the start of a good season for Ronnie , especially as he has turned up for the 1st PTC . Would like to see him make most of them .

Apparently, this is the only PTC he has entered, just for the experience.

[Neil Taperell]

He might be entering a few more after his performance in this one .

WS updating. Graeme Dott gone through 4-0 against Robbie 'Take That' Williams. Ronnie just gone through and started against Stuart Bingham. Joe Perry playing Jamie Jones. Eden's run ended by Marcus Campbell.

See my post #39 Neil.

He has only entered the first PTC to try it out. He will however be entering two or three after the first 4 are over.

Cheers . Don't know how i missed that post .

FLYING.... WOOHOOOO..Bring it on Ron...

[João]

lol... people having orgasms because Ronnie is doing well on a tournament 90% of top players don't give a flying sh*t about. Bring on the real tournaments (sadly there are not many left...) so we can see the real Ronnie going out in the first rounds again.

Tell that too mark williams eh, ask him what hepled him fly back up the rankings? you really think the top players don't care for these ptc's eh fella?

Well the players that didn't care for them last season nearly fell off the cart... so have a little thinksy about that one.

The only reason Williams, Higgins, Hendry, Murphy etc lost in the first round is because they clearly did not prepare for the "tournament". Ronnie obviously thinks he's got something to prove (and he does) so he has been practicing hard non stop over the last few weeks.... which is not surprising considering he does not have a wife and can't be with his kids during the week.
